I've never played an RPG. Which one of these is the best for a newbie?

I'm playing other games on PC right now, so Gamecube and PS2 are my only options. Which of these are best for a guy who's never played a RPG?

Gamecube:

Harvest Moon

(don't know if these are RPGs)

LoZ: Wind Waker

LoZ: Collector's Edition (has LoZ, The adventure of Link, Ocarina of Time and Majora's Mask)

PS2:

Kingdom Hearts

Dragonquest VIII- Journey to the Cursed King

Final Fantasy XII- Collector's Edition

Thanks for the help!

I would start with Final Fantasy X and Kingdom Hearts.

i would go with Kingdom Hearts if it easy fun game good place to start

go with Kingdom Hearts. Those games are awesome

On Gamecube, I recommend Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door. It was my first RPG game barring the Pokemon series, and I loved it. It's simple enough for newcomers to grasp, but still offers unique ideas. Plus, it's one of the funniest games I played last generation.

For the Gamecube you should check out Paper Mario and the Thousand Year Door and Tales of Symphonia. If you are into stretegy RPGs you should check out Fire Emblem: Path of radiance.

For the PS2, you should check out Final Fantasy X and Tales of Legendia and Tales of the Abyss.

I'd recommend Paper Mario the Thousand Year Door for gamecube even though its not on your list. I just think that game is easy to get into and not too complicated for a newbie. I wouldn't start withFF XII because IMO was a bit much. By that I mean I felt the game was too combat heavy for my taste.
